Alice and Sturgis went to Norwich to walk through a few houses Wednesday morning. The first three were a wash: one was in the middle of the city, one far too small for their purposes, and the other too much of a mess to even bother with. The fourth house and final house they looked at, however, was promising. Out of the way, but not quite out in the country, and a decent size. They were very careful to stick to their aliases: Stuart and Allison Bradley, an accounting clerk and his wife, expecting their first child. She did most of the talking as they explored the house, noting how many rooms and how large they were. Stu was careful to stick by Dorcas' muggle lessons, opening doors, nodding and humming rather than speaking up, keeping any question about strange muggle apparatus to himself (with great difficulty) and showing a keen interest in the electric box. They discussed pros and cons before deciding that the house would work for a primary safehouse. Sitting down with the agent, they made an offer on the house. Later in the day, they received word that the offer had been accepted. Arrangements were made to handle all the financing and necessary paperwork at the beginning of next week. |
